calcium reactor

[dr evil]

hi guys,

need help to tune my Calcium reactor bubble counter. i cannot get the correct bubbles....

after tuning, it seems ok.......but the next day, there are no bubbles??what may be wrong..........

im using a H&S CA...........do help...

what can be wrong???

check your needle valve. You might need to buy a better one.

My reactor goes out of tune when the carbon dioxide tank is running out. The tank is no longer at constant pressure once all the carbon dioxide has turned into gas within the tank.

It could be your guage.

If yours is the single guage type, it is difficult to maintain the bubble count, bec, the On/Off valve from the cylinder, cannot give a constant pressure for the supply of CO2 thru the guage.

If you have a double guage type, irregardless of the pressure of CO2 release from the cylinder, the first guage has regulated it to a constant pressure feeding into the 2nd guage, which will made the CO2 bubble count remain constant, until the pressure on the first guage drop.

if I sound confussing, then ignore me...
